ABSTRACT:
A guide cylinder with its axis directed in the upper and lower directions is provided on the bottom of a hopper. In the guide cylinder are allowed to pass a plurality of measuring containers supported by an endless conveyor which is moving upwardly from the bottom of the hopper, so that bulk foods in the hopper are scooped up into the measuring containers. While the measuring container is still over the hopper, excess bulk foods are caused to fall onto the hopper by way of a suitable shaking operation. Thereafter, the bulk foods are conveyed out of the hopper by the conveyor, and exhausted at an exhausting station by turning the measuring container upside down. The distance between the measuring containers provided on the endless conveyor is made smaller than the length of the guide cylinder so that at least one of the measuring containers is always present in said guide cylinder. This enables the measuring containers to further serve as a bottom covering of the hopper.
